This is kind of ironic because I have to send my Axe-Fx II to FAS to have the Output 2 Hiss issue fixed, so I'm going to use my old Mesa Boogie TriAxis while it's being repaired but I'm still trying to figure out how to program my MFC-101 to control my old rig before I ship my AF2 to be repaired.
I used to love the tone of my TriAxis but I like the versatility I can get w/ my AF2. I think I'm going to keep my TriAxis, so I can compare my AF2 tones as a reality check because I sometimes forget what a real amp sounds like.
I think the TriAxis magic happens when used with the 2:90. Actually I think anything I put into the 2:90 sounds magical. I know the 2:90 colors the tone but it sounds perfect to my ears. I swear it has the Fletcher–Munson curve built in because as I turn it up, everything stays smooth sounding and doesn't get harsh like other tube and solid state amps do. I can't believe how loud the 2:90 can get either. It has to be the loudest 2 space rack power amp I've ever heard or almost lost my hearing to ;-) I just wish the 2:90 wasn't so heavy and didn't cost me almost $200 a year in tubes. That's the only reason I'm not using it anymore and using a Crown XLS 2000.
How is the Matrix GT1000FX compared to the 2:90? Can the Matrix GT1000FX get as loud as the 2:90? Where do you keep the Presence knobs on the 2:90?
Any chance you can do 4 comparison recording clips playing the same riff?
1. AF2 > Matrix GT1000FX
2. AF2 > 2:90
3. TriAxis > Matrix GT1000FX
4. TriAxis > 2:90
Here's my post if anyone can give me any help setting up the TriAxis w/ my MFC-101:
